"We test live failovers every week, and so far, everything has been running smoothly without anything unexpected."
"Virtual SAN runs on iSCSI, which is free and easy to configure. It's easy to manage from StarWind's GUI console, and it only required a few extra switch ports."

This integration provides users with an unmatched level of convenience and compatibility, allowing for streamlined operations within a Dell environment.
